13.5 From time to time, we run campaigns to reach our existing client audiences on Facebook. Facebook makes use of a pixel code, which sits on our Site and acts similarly to a cookie, in that it gives us information on how people coming from Facebook to our Site, are using our Site. Any data that passes through the Facebook pixel is “hashed” locally on the browser before it goes to the Facebook servers for matching. This hashing process turns your data into short encrypted messages that cannot be tampered with. They use these hashes to match pixel events with people on Facebook. Then Facebook deletes all matched and unmatched hashes immediately after the matching process ends. They do not collect or store any personally identifiable information on their servers. Facebook’s privacy policy is available at: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy
